Question

I’ve have Google API 16 loaded
Compiling with Google API 16

Error for this line is “mapView cannot be resolved”

  <nControl = mapView.getController();>

Have deleted gen folder, done a clean
Have restarted Eclipse
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I new to this and trying to make a map for a non-profit

MainActivity.java

 package net.example.googlemaps3;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;

import com.google.android.maps.GeoPoint;
import com.google.android.maps.MapController;
import com.google.android.maps.MapView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
MapController nControl;
GeoPoint GeoP;
MapView mapV;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
     mapV = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapView);
     mapV.displayZoomControls(true);
        mapV.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);

        double lat=44.3;
        double Longi=-79.8;
        GeoP= new GeoPoint((int)(lat*1E6),(int)(Longi*1E6));            
        nControl = mapView.getController();
        nControl.animateTo(GeoP);
        nControl.setZoom(12);   
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
    return true;
}

}

Answer 1

Since your variable is mapV and not mapView, you should continue on that path and rewrite

nControl = mapView.getController();

as

nControl = mapV.getController();
